As a long time professional touring sound guy, and volunteer church sound guy, thank you for being so kind to the church folks. I have worked in this business a long time and most (99%) FOH sound guys I have run into are a-holes (even the ones in the churches). You were so kind it was a breath of fresh air. May God bless you in your endeavours!

I'll have to start with audio and video always being interests of mine as well as lighting, I've learned quite a lot through personal research over the past decade or two. I had to get into something that could pay bills involving a certain American delivery service that doesn't specifically involve packages. I have far much more knowledge of a lot of things that I could go further with and I'm now being put into a position of helping clean up the audio of the church that I've been at for a couple of years and really looking forward to the experience of putting my knowledge to use and hopefully build a portfolio off of it.

Man I've watched all four episodes and I am still craving some more. Thank you for the help you are providing to these churches because speaking out of experience (as a person who does sound at my local church) most of us are just winging it due to the fact that finding a person who have experience is extremely difficult and VERY VERY EXPENSIVE so we just have to do with what we have and can to get by. So these videos for me are not just for entertainment but also try to learn as much as I can

Missionary of Audio!! Best series on YT right now. Looking forward to the next episode.

@hixrat Ай бұрын

something that is often overlooked is a church investing in things that make thier band perform better. This could be hiring a worship leader that can coach the team or investing in resources to make individual band members better. Often when mixing, the abilities of the band is the hardest ceiling to overcome. You can treat the room, optimize processing but you get out what you put in.

@djjazzyjeff1232 Ай бұрын

That's all I can think when I see some gear heads get so deep in the rabbit hole. Like dude, it doesn't matter if you have a $5,000 drum kit if you can't tune it or hit the center of the head.

@TheSeeking2know Ай бұрын

I totally agree with you. That investment is critical and not doing it ensures the needle will not move on the desired changes, meaning the complaints will just continue. Just having warm bodies isn't enough.

The mapping chart is an amazing idea for anyone going in blind, I'm really new to any of this and going in somewhere blind would give me a panic attack unless you can work out your outputs quickly before a show, the console re-routing took less time than someone having a quick snack, lightning quickness, honestly whenever Chris Hammill is in the building... your in good hands..we need a clone of you in the UK man, the work you do is so brilliant, the church sounded fantastic and amazing drone footage of Texas too!

Wow This was an amazing episode, it was definitely worth the wait regardless of the copyright. I can't express how much I love watching these. I used to setup sound in my highschool chapel and we had the craziest moments working with little to deliver an amazing experience for the school church services. So these episodes strike at the very bottom of my heart. I watched you literally deliver the mix from grass to grace. Thank you for the humility you potray which has enabled you give your time to help out these churches. About the windows PC crushing, yep. That was a bummer. Happened to me while I was Livestreaming a high level event with a whole Minister for Health. I had never sweated in my life like I did. I have learnt that you have to stop automatic update service for any production machine. And oh yeah, that car was wild. My goodness.

Love it. Never seen someone so excited for a Scarlett haha. I tried to do this once in college for a friend at a tiny church. Tried because all they had was a something like a 1980s Peavey PA-200 in a little loft I had to crawl to enter. I think it was something a little better than that, with maybe a 3-band, but oh man. Ancient powered mixer. That said, they had an amazing set of speakers and like 5 wireless Shure earset mics. Such a head scratcher. And I didn't even get to pet a horse. Bet you could turn this into a business all its own.

@chrishammillaudio Ай бұрын

I was more excited for not having to use the boards usb drive 😂 I’d love to make KZfaq a full time thing, but I need more views/subs to turn this into a “you can quit your day job” level income. It’s tough when KZfaq only pays me 45% of Adsense profit and just about every video I upload has some form of copyright tag with demonetization.
